Am I Pregnant or Is My Period Coming?

I think i have been spotting. At first, i thought it was that i had just started with my period again, but i was wrong because it looked more like a pinkish color that would only stain a little bit. This got me worried because the previous month, on October 26th, I was having sexual intercourse with my boyfriend and the condom broke. I haven't gotten my period since. On October 31st, Halloween, I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I am thinking about taking a pregnancy test again to make sure, because i am not sure if the spotting just means my period is finally coming, or if it means that I am pregnant. I have heard of the Implantation Bleeding, but this is my second day of spotting. I heard that the implantation bleeding only lasts for about a day or two, or maybe even less. So this makes me doubt a little because I think it's going to be continuing tomorrow. I just need to know whether or not there is a possibility that i may be pregnant or if the chances are gone and i am safe from that issue. I am really worried and i need some reassurance. So what do you think?

I would be suprised if you are spotting this late after conceiving on the 26th of October. I know that bodies are ever-changing, so it is possible that your cycle is just delayed. I can definitely understand the fear of potential conception when that is definitely not something at the top of your wish list at this point in time. In order to allow yourself to relax, I definitely recommend taking another home pregnancy test to see what it says. Either way, you may want to schedule a dr's appointment (if positive, the dr will need to verify, but if negative, they may be able to induce your period to help you get back on track). I do wish you the best, but I stand by my earlier statement that you may want to start taking birth control or using another supplemental method as well to increase the effectiveness of the birth control. Go ahead and test to put your mind at ease. Best wishes!

It could be a number of things, pg, bladder infection or even a simple yeast infection.  I would test again to be sure, and if it still comes out negative, wait a few days, if you don't get your period go see a dr.
